Player Sanctions Finally Announced

The NFL finally announced that only two current Saints—linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith—will be sanctioned. Vilma, a defensive captain, is slated to miss the entire season, while Smith is only going to miss four-games. As a result, Smith will still participate in training camp as well as the regular season. Smith and Vilma stated that he planned to appeal the sanction.
